I went back and looked at my phosphate color card and yes the test shows 2 PPM not .2. Im working on lowering that with phosban. Not sure how it got out of control. I will also run another test to make sure there wasnt an error. Heads are looking worse almost like the polyps are melting off...

May I suggest painting the back of your tank?? It will make everything else stand out better......and might even make the hardware in your tank kind of blend in and not be quite so noticeable....

I just got his guy last week and he looked good until yesterday. Only water paramenter that was off was Phosphates..they were 2 and i now have in somephosphate sponge. Any ideas? What if a food pellet landed in it?

Have any of you been to or use the Northside Aquatics store in Maumelle? We had looked at it online and I was over that way this past week. I stopped in to see how things looked in there before we made a 2 hour trip over for some purchases. Looks like a great place, but thought I would see if...

I found the couple suggested threads after I sat down and started looking some more. Thanks for the book suggestion. We have a few books, but not that one (I dont think!). We already have a 55 gallon with fish, LR, few corals, inverts, serpent star, condi, and few others. I just want to do...

Hey all....I am fixing to take down a 29 gallon freshwater and turn it into SW. I am wanting to do some LR, gobies, a few shrimp, and of course my cleaner crew. I will keep the bio-wheel that I am currently using (with a new wheel of course). I am looking for suggestions for lights, specific...

We ordered our LR from a local LFS and did not get one hitchiker... But we have a friend that got a free trigger in a piece of LR!! How cool would that be?!

green ricordia, umbrella mushrooms, carnation leathers, hatian anemone, a few dusters,

My 55 reef tank cracked the other night during the ice storm. Apparently I didnt notice my new light was hitting the canopy so the bind cracked it. Anyways I drove to ***** the next morning and got a new tank and moved everything over. Now my fish are stressed and developing Ick. I have...

We have lost 2 Sebae's since starting our tank. The first got itself up against the heater and the end result was not so good (we now have a sump and that's where the heater stays). The second one could not seem to find a "happy" place and got behind our rocks in a dark place one day. I guess...

where did you get the ballasts?
